The Company's nationwide theatre circuit is comprised of Regal Cinemas Corporation, United Artists Theatre Company and Edwards Theatres, Inc. " (2/9/2018)

2. B. Riley analysts commented, "We have reiterated our view extensively that short-term investors have overreacted to some of the adverse box office swings this year and not only do we project that the year could actually end up relatively flat with last year, but we stress this view overlooks the improvements RGC has seen in market share and spending per patron — which is a baseline metric that, we believe, only sets the stage for further gains as box office trends should improve with a film slate that resonates more with consumers. We recommend adding to positions and are reiterating our Buy rating with an increased PT of $24.75 (up from $24.00). Key Points Q3 Results Exceed Expectations." (10/25/2017)
